How to factory reset an iPhone?

Resetting your iPhone might sound like a serious and complicated process, but it is really very straightforward. Whether you are trading your old phone for a new one, selling your current phone or giving it away, you need to wipe clean all your data from the phone. It is also known as factory resetting. It isn’t just a good practice to have but it also ensures your data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. All of this might sound tedious and complex, but once you go through this guide, you will have a fair idea about it and can do it confidently by yourself.

But before you start the process of erasing all data, you might want to take a backup of your current data.

1. Firstly, ensure you back up your valuable data.

2. Go to the Settings menu and your iCloud account by tapping on your name at the top of the screen.

3. Tap on the device you want to make a backup of.

4. If it isn’t already turned on, you can simply select Backup Now. It might take a few minutes depending on your network strength and backup size.

5. Signing out from your iCloud is the next thing you should do. Go to the Settings menu and Tap on your name at the top of the settings menu screen. Scroll down once you are in and tap on Sign Out.
These steps will not only back up your phone’s value data on iCloud, but would also remove all the iCloud data from the phone.
